statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or any
successor form thereto (as such terms are defined by the Commission or any form
that does not permit the inclusion of shares by its security holders) for
purposes of an offering for sale by or on behalf of Netfabric of such equity
securities for its own account (a "Primary Offering"), or upon the request or
for the account of any Shareholder holding such equity securities other than a
Shareholder who is an investor listed on Schedule 2.2 of the Netfabric
Disclosure Statement (a "Secondary Offering"), or for purposes of a combined
Primary Offering and Secondary Offering (a "Combined Offering"), then each such
time Netfabric shall, at least 10 business days prior to the time when any such
registration statement is filed with the Commission, give prompt written notice
to the Shareholders of its intention to do so. Such notice shall specify the
number and class of equity securities so proposed to be registered, the proposed
date of filing of such registration statement, any proposed means of
distribution of such securities and any proposed managing underwriter or
underwriters of such securities. Upon the written direction of any Shareholder
or Shareholders, given within 5 business days following the receipt by such
Shareholders of any such written notice (which direction shall specify the
number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such
12
Shareholder), Netfabric shall include in such registration statement any or all
of the registrable securities then held by such Shareholder requesting such
registration (such Shareholder, together with any other security holder of
Netfabric including shares in such registration statement being referred to
hereafter as a "Selling Shareholder") to the extent necessary to permit the sale
of such registrable securities as such Shareholder has so directed Netfabric to
be so registered. Schedule 2.2 shall consist of entities that own common stock
obtained by reason of financing provided to Netfabric and who do not own 10% or
more of the Netfabric stock. It may also be supplemented to include any entity
or entities that supply financing to meet the covenant contained in Section 4.13
hereof.
5.2 If, in connection with a proposed Primary Offering or a proposed
Combined Offering, any managing underwriter shall advise Netfabric (and
Netfabric shall promptly notify the Selling Shareholders) that, in its opinion,
the inclusion in the registration statement of some or all of the securities
sought to be registered by such Selling Shareholders and other Selling
Shareholders would materially and adversely affect the successful marketing of
the securities to be registered, then Netfabric will include in such
registration statement such number of securities as Netfabric and all other
Selling Shareholders are so advised can be sold in such offering without such an
effect (the "Maximum Number"), as follows and in the following order of
priority: (A) first, such number of securities sought to be registered by
Netfabric for its own account as Netfabric, in its reasonable judgment and
acting in good faith, shall have determined; and (B) second, if and to the
extent that the number of securities to be registered under clause (A) is less
than the Maximum Number, registrable securities, pro rata by the Shareholders in
proportion to the number of registrable securities sought to be registered by
each Shareholder relative to the number sought to be registered by all holders
of stock sought to be registered pro rata among all shareholders seeking to sell
shares. However, if such registration statement is filed at the request of a
shareholder who has obtained a contractual registrant right by reason of an
investment in Netfabric, such registration shall then have a priority and
Netfabric and other shareholders shall share the balance pro rata.
5.3 Nothing herein shall prevent Netfabric from, at any time, abandoning or
delaying any registration initiated by it.
6. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF NETFABRIC
Notwithstanding any right of Services and the Shareholders fully to
investigate the affairs of Netfabric, the former shall have the right to rely
fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of
Netfabric contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered by Netfabric

7. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SERVICES AND THE SHAREHOLDERS

13
in this Agreement or in any document delivered to Netfabric by the latter or any

variance between the audited and unaudited statements of Services. All such
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive the
execution and delivery hereof for twenty four (24) months following the Closing
Date.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 Obligation of Netfabric to Indemnify. Netfabric hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shareholders from and against any

of or otherwise due to any inaccuracy in or any breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement made by any of them and contained in this
Agreement or in any document or other writing delivered pursuant to this
Agreement. As among the Shareholders, the indemnification for which they are

of events of indemnity, until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable losses
for which the Stockholders -as a group or Netfabric, as the case may be, is

9. FURTHER CONSIDERATION
As further consideration for Netfabric entering into this Agreement, each
Shareholder acknowledges that the agreements and covenants contained in this

transaction would not occur but for such agreements and covenants. The
Shareholders each hereby agree as follows:
9.1 Confidentiality. Each Shareholder shall, at all times, hold all
Confidential Information of Services and Netfabric in strict confidence and
shall not use, copy, sell, assign, license, market, transfer or otherwise
dispose of, give or disclose the Confidential Information to any third parties,
other than those employees of Netfabric or their affiliates who need to know
such Confidential Information for purposes of performing their respective
obligations, without first obtaining written authorization of the Board of
Directors of Netfabric. "Confidential Information" for purposes of this
Agreement means any information which Services and Netfabric possess or to which
Services or Netfabric have rights which have commercial value including, by way
of example and without limitation, (A) any proprietary information, technical

the public other than by a breach of this agreement; (ii) it has been rightfully
received by Shareholder from a third-party without any breach of any
confidentiality; (iii) it has been independently developed for Shareholder by
personnel or agents having no access to the Confidential Information; or (iv) it
was known to Shareholder prior to receipt from Services or Netfabric.
Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely
because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or
because individual features, components or combinations thereof are now known or
became known to the public. Netfabric undertakes to obtain confidentiality
agreements from its employees and shareholders of Netfabric and Services in
order to protect the Confidential Information of Netfabric and Services.
9.2 NonCompetition and Nonsolicitation. Each Shareholder agrees that for so
long as he is employed by or is a Shareholder holding ten percent (10%) or more
of the issued and outstanding stock of Netfabric and for a one-year period
thereafter, he shall not, directly or indirectly, within any State within the
United States or territory outside the United States in which Netfabric is
engaged in business: (A) engage, have an interest in or render any services to
any business (whether as owner, manager, operator, licensor, licensee, lender,
partner, stockholder, joint venturer, employee, consultant or otherwise)
competitive with Services' or Netfabric's business activities as such -
activities exist on the date hereof; or, (8) take any action which constitutes
an interference with or a disruption of any of Services' or Netfabric's or its
parent, subsidiary or affiliated corporations, business activities including,
without limitation, the solicitations of Netfabric's customers, employees,
consultants, agents or other persons affiliated with Services or Netfabric.
Notwithstanding the above, the foregoing provisions in this Section 9.2 shall
